General Information

Kumoricon and gaming go hand in hand. With the lastest consoles, game play on 32″ and 42″ flat panel TVs and projected screen, tournaments and LAN, we are setting the standard for convention gaming everywhere! Our new hotel offers a larger gaming space to allow more people entry and state-of-the-art air circulation to keep the area fresh.

Currently 5 Wiis, 2 Xbox 360s, and a slew of the old stand-bys (Xbox, Game Cube, and PS2), grace our game rooms. The PS3 will also be available at con. Classic consoles are sure to make an appearance, and a tournament dance pad is in the works. More fun toys will be added as we approach con, guaranteeing a gaming experience to remember. Tournaments are a big part of Kumoricon programming. Schedules will appear here as we approach the convention dates.

For more information, contact gaming@kumoricon.org.
